LIVING ON CAMPUS

More than a place to sleep, the residence halls are a major part of your college experience. All residence halls offer a variety of academic and social activities throughout the year. Regardless of your residence assignment, you will enjoy the same amenities and activities. Each residence hall has Resident Assistants (RAs), typically upperclass students, who assure a safe and friendly living environment and can help you with any questions or issues that arise.

With this in mind, choose your residence hall preference based on reasons beyond the amenities, for example:

Location on campus

Will it be close to your major courses?

Do you prefer to have a dining center attached to it?

All women vs. co-ed. There is one female-only residence hall on campus, all other options are co-ed. In co-ed residence halls, gender separation happens by houses or floors.

Living Learning CommunitiesLiving Learning Communities (LLC) are organized around a shared academic major, a shared interest or a shared connection. The purpose of these communities is to strengthen residents’ engagement in campus life and improve academic performance. The communities fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Incoming students can select a Living Learning Community on the online residence hall and dining contract.
